texte = [replacefounditems] doesn't apply in his case, because the replace is on a different database (events.db) than the search (carts.db)... This is,however, a perfect example of when to use a SWITCH/CASE instead of a bazillion SHOWIFs, and since the replace parameters are the same (only the data changes) for each option, I would put the data to be replaced into a text variable, then just use one REPLACE context: [switch value=[ITEM]] [case value=R1][text]DATA=RETRIEVER1STATUS=PAID[/text][/case] [case value=R2][text]DATA=RETRIEVER2STATUS=PAID[/text][/case] .... etc .... [case value=SV7][text]DATA=SUPERV7STATUS=PAID[/text][/case] [default][text]DATA=[/text] [/switch] [showif [url][DATA][/url]!] [Replace db=events.db&eqCOMPIDdatarq=[COMPID]&eqDOGIDdatarq=[DOGID]] [DATA][/Replace] [/showif] This is just a style choice, but it makes maintenance much easier. Also, the [waitforfile] is not being used properly - it needs an ending [/waitforfile] tag.
